Chapter 818 Everyone Has His Ambition

As soon as Woods finished talking, Mary walked towards his direction and sat next to him. She was charming and elegant. Her every move captivated the surrounding people. Without a word, Mary picked up the wine pot and poured a glass of wine for Woods.

Woods was speechless and could only stare at Mary's graceful movements. He could not ward her off in front of so many people, so he just smiled and said nothing.

Raef winked at Mary when he saw that his plan was successful. Satisfied, he went back to his own seat. Mary blushed and bit her lips. She was still a bit nervous, knowing that at this point, there was no turning back. The fate of Xiao Clan was now in her hands.

As she watched Mary serve Woods, Lucilla saw through Raef's plan. She did not agree with this kind of tactic, but she did not oppose either. If Woods fell for Mary, she knew she could not deny his interest. Left with no choice, she turned a blind eye and took no notice of what was happening.

"Queenie, you have not given His Royal Highness a toast yet?" Lucilla asked her nervous sister gently.

"You did that already," Queenie said at once. She never enjoyed this kind of occasion, and did not like to cater to any prince.

Lucilla frowned and ordered Queenie in a low voice, "Just make a toast to His Royal Highness."

"No, I will not do that!" Queenie shook her head.

"You..." Lucilla was furious at her sister, but could do nothing about it.

"By the way, why didn't that guy come?" Queenie suddenly asked.

"That guy? Mr. Rookie? Why do you call him that way?" Lucilla was lost for a while, but then she realized that her sister was talking about Rookie.

"Why? What should I call him? Mr. Rookie? I would rather call him an idiot!" answered Queenie, scornfully.

Lucilla was speechless. It was clear to her that she had failed as an older sister. She looked at Queenie and all she saw was a headstrong woman wrapped up in her own self and lack of manner.

Lucas, who was at

ey too have a beautiful daughter like Mary.

The scene delighted some people from the crowd, while some started to worry. Raef, on the other hand, was confident that his plan was a success. He smiled to himself and thought about the future. If everything went well, the Xiao Clan would be ahead of the game and prosperous in just a matter of days.

Meanwhile, Mary who was supporting Woods had slipped out of the Magnificent Hall. Her eyes darkened as she looked around. Quietly, she followed the maid as she led them to into the room arranged by Lucilla.

Although Woods brought attendants with him, he didn't allow them to follow him closely. This made it easy for Mary to move Woods inside the room with no commotion. She then instructed the two maids to close the door and wait outside the room.

Before long, the windows of the room opened. A man entered, and he carried with him a large quilt.

"Uncle Chris, is that you?" Mary whispered.

"It's me. Miss Mary, is everything all right?" the shadow replied in a low voice at once.

It was Chris.

He walked towards Mary and placed the quilt on the bed.

"I will do the rest!" Mary said in a firm voice.

Chris quietly left the room through the window.

Mary took a deep breath and opened the bulging quilt. Inside, sleeping peacefully was Juey.
